Breast Self Exam
A simple monthly routine to know your normal and catch changes early.
A breast self exam helps you learn your body. It is not a replacement for a mammogram, but it helps you notice breast changes fast.
A breast self exam takes only a few minutes a month. Its real value is simple. It helps you learn what is normal so you can spot breast changes early and report them. Think of it as breast self awareness, not a diagnosis. A self check does not replace a mammogram, but together they help protect you.
